Why do I write poems which supports the Afghans against the American invasion?
In this article from 2001, it is clear that the war in Afghanistan could have been avoided. The reason why the Taliban wants proof that the 9/11 terrorist attack was plotted by Osama Bin Laden is because HE NEVER TOLD THE TALIBAN of his plans! Osama Bin Laden is clearly a traitor of his people, but so is the Bush administration. Because of one man’s actions, the entire country was wrecked, even though it had no guilt.
Taliban is NOT the same as Al-Qaeda. Taliban had power over all of Afghanistan at that time, while Al-Qaeda was just a small organisation operating mostly inside Afghanistan. Osama Bin Laden was a member of Al-Qaeda and not the taliban.
Taliban was willing to protect Osama Bin Laden only because they were sure he was innocent. Had USA provided prove of his guilt, they would have handed Osama Bin Laden over to the Americans and the war could have ended before it had even begun.
But clearly, the Bush administration WANTED to wreck ALL OF Afghanistan even though the Taliban had no guilt. One can ask oneself why they were so bloodthirsty, but clearly they wanted to dominate all of Afghanistan because of the oil and other resources.
Of course, the Afghan people could not accept this. They are a sovereign nation and have been so for thousands of years. So a bloody war ensued which killed thousand and thousands of Afghans and Americans, and now as the USA are moving out of the country, it is again becoming increasingly controlled by militant Islamists.
I do not support any fundamentalist Islamic organization such as the Taliban or the Al-Qaeda. Neither am I a Muslim. I support the Afghan people against an entirely unneeded, devastating and illegal war.
